Allison Chapple

Allison Chapple is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 15 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and helps people navigate stress, anxiety, changes in life, and struggles with eating and body image. Her style is warm and conversational, and she aims to build trust in the room so people can talk honestly about what’s hard.

Allison’s work draws on a mix of practical methods that focus on thoughts, behavior, and awareness. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy shows up in sessions as an emphasis on values and taking steps that matter even when feelings are strong.

Mindfulness approaches are woven into therapy to help people notice sensations and emotions without getting swept away. Solution-Focused techniques help set clear, achievable goals and track small changes from session to session. She blends these tools with a client-centered attitude inspired by Carl Rogers, keeping conversations relaxed and respectful.

Her background includes a 900-hour graduate internship at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and work across substance abuse treatment, community mental health, private practice, and a pediatric medical clinic. That range informs how she adapts sessions for different concerns and life stages.

People often come for help with depression, mood shifts, postpartum concerns, social anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, and the stresses of parenting or young adulthood. Allison asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients pick the next small step toward feeling more capable.

How Allison’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Allison commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small meaningful steps, which can help when life changes feel overwhelming. CBT breaks down thoughts and behaviors into practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Mindfulness techniques are also part of her approach, encouraging gentle awareness of emotions and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity. These methods can help with stress, eating-related concerns, and mood shifts by creating new habits for noticing and responding differently.

Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. Allison works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts tools as needs evolve. Clients can expect a collaborative process with clear goals and regular check-ins to see what is helping.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions useful for fitting therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when days are busy. Talk with Allison about what will fit your routine and she can help arrange sessions that match your practical needs.
